    It's got trolls, it's got Mesoamerican art and architecture and its got dinosaurs. What more do you need? 13/10 Would recommend. I'm sure there's some good Alliance stuff too, but whatever. For the Horde!

    Easily the best WoW expansion with its Warmode feature that has completely revitalised world pvp.

    At the announcement I was not a big fan of the ideas the had going forward with World of Warcraft, but now that its here and you can play it, they really did a great job. The story is amazing and engaging. Every quest is full of love and well crafted. Sure, we have to wait and see, if they are able to keep the high quality standards of Legion, but we are off at an amazing start. Well done Blizzard

    I'm not that far yet into this expansion, but playing as Horde, man what a great zone design. Quest lines are fun to play (especially when taking time appreciating the lore and inside jokes) and I can't wait getting into dungeons and Island expeditions. Great work Blizz (final review pending) !!

    it's a good expansion, played 8-12hrs a day since release and I've got a hard time trying to run out of content ever since m+ released
    there are some kinks, I don't like certain aspect, but it's sure as hell a **** 10 from me because I'm not some casual scrublord who can't even handle doing content

    Please don't believe the user score. BFA is an amazing expansion! Zones are beautiful, questing was fun and engaging, end game has plenty of content and there's lots to do if you don't have the time to raid.

    It's a shame how people keep throwing this game down the drain. I have played countless MMO's, ALL of which have the same formula so why does WoW have to be slammed? It's pretty much exactly the way things were since the beginning. The zones are beautiful, the two faction zones are interesting, it's the same. It's like complaining about call of duty because all you do is use guns. It'sIt's a shame how people keep throwing this game down the drain.

    Is the game perfect, no, but not worth an 10, but again i'm going to give it a 10 because I guess if I find it good, it must be 10 or if it's bad its a 0. No in-between. It's good, so 10.

    I do agree that quests get really bland, and some story elements and character archs don't make sense, but there is a lot of fun and content to be had if you like Warcraft. If you like Legion, you'll love BfA. If you hate WOTLK then you'll despise BfA.    … Expand

    Miglioramento grafico, social ben strutturato grazie ai nuovi canali dei gruppi multiserver, storia decisamente migliore rispetto un legion. La copertina ripresa da orcs and humans sembra un ritorno alle origini, consiglio a tutti sopratutto dopo un lancio xosi perfetto al dayone.

    I don't think it is fair to judge the game based on the client/server issues it has experienced. It is a shame that Blizzard did not foresee this nonetheless I think this is a great expansion. Once you start playing it you feel like you're 16 again playing Burning Crusade of Wrath of the Lich King. The mechanics and visual aspects just look amazing.

    Absolutely loving it, as of 8.0. Maining Horde, but having played both factions, the stories of the Zandalari have captured my heart in loving embrace. The music, the voice acting, the zones and the atmosphere itself - all are fantastic. Comparative to previous expansions, even the launch was smooth.

    Honestly, the hate toward this xpac is unfounded. This is perhaps my favourite yet,    Absolutely loving it, as of 8.0.

    Highly recommended, very excited for future patches.

    Came here cause of a forum thread on the wow forums. I honestly don't understand all this hate at all.. I am absolutely loving the game so far. The zones and story has completely sucked me in and my warrior feels more fun to play than it did back in highmaul. I am kinda sad they didn't make gladiator a real spec though haha.. the one good thing about warlords of draenor warrior.

This leads me to believe that people may be trying to review bomb this game out of anger over some minor issues they have or anger at the developers. Therefore I am upping my rating from 8/10 to 10/10 to do a small part to counter these 0 rated review spams. It probably won't make much difference vs that flood of ratings but oh well I will do my small part at least.… Expand

    after reading all the **** reviews i had to create a profile.

    looking at most of the reviewers giving 0, you will notice the only have 1 review. which leads me to believe the are trolls.

    I have been playing WoW on and off since Vanilla back in 2004. I'm now in my mid 20s with a full time job, and i can tell you that playing casually for a few hours a night is a great experience, regardless of the expansion. All these go hard, no life gamers who basically speed run through any new content and then complain they have nothing else to do have bigger problems than the ones with the game. Simply put, they need a life.

    Not everyone will grind this game day in and day out and run out of content in 3 days. Not everyone runs macros and treats the game like a job. In fact im willing to be most people play casually. And thats what games are for... to play casually and have fun. Which this game has plenty of. Sure, some the class changes dont tickle my fancy ( i play Disc Priest and the spells got a little **** with the latest patch) but even so I was able to adapt in probably 30 min of CASUAL play.

    So enough with the 0 score reviews, enough with the baseless complaining, because all you're doing is ruining the work of people who put thousands of hours of work into making this game, and basically spitting in their face.

    Enjoy the game, stop complaining, or if you dont like it ask for your money back, and stfu and go play fortnite.

    i'm giving this a 10 just to offset the troll 0 reviews, but id say its more of an 8.5    … Expand

    Cостоянием на сегодня большая часть багов пофикшена, новый рейд (в отличии от Ульдира) весьма интересен и не прост. Игра выравниваеться, это не Легион но все еще лучшая ММОРПГ на рынке.

    One of the best addons in the history of World of Warcraft! We have received Zandalar and we have received Kul Tiras. Locations are best ever made. Nazmir and Blood Trolls are perfect. The Battle for Dazar'Alor is one of the best raids in WoW. (I hope that Nazjatar with its raid to Azjara will be also great).

    A quite well-made expansion, but not without flaws. If they get removed by the creators, the rating will improve. However, you won’t regret buying it. [Issue#290]

    Battle for Azeroth offers everything you could expect from a World of Warcraft expansion, but its scale is visibly smaller than Legion’s and there’s no truly new quality here. All that doesn’t change the fact that the charm of this extraordinary MMORPG appeals to me almost as strongly as 13 years ago. [10/2018, p.42]

    Blizzard plays it safe, incorporating few innovations while trying to salvage the lore situation of Warcraft due to its constant escalation. Despite all this, BfA remains an entertaining expansion with a lot to offer in endgame for a casual player.
